The 2023 college football season is officially underway. In what looks to be the final season of the Pac-12 Conference (unless Oregon State and Washington State convince others to come), it has gotten off to a booming start.
The Colorado Buffaloes stunned TCU in Deion Sanders’ first game, and Oregon and Washington pummeled their opponents in lopsided affairs.

With Week 1 (and Week Zero) officially behind us, let us examine the Pac-12 standings. Don’t worry: As the weeks go by, this picture will get more and more puzzling and wackier, which is why we all love college football.
Believe it or not, the entire Pac-12 won this weekend. Rarely are the standings ever going to look like this again:
The Trojans defeated San Jose State in Week Zero and then obliterated Nevada and former Colorado QB Brendon Lewis in Week 1.
No Cam Rising? It wasn’t a problem as Utah defeated Florida. Rising should be back soon as the Utes aim for a Pac-12 three-peat.
Heisman candidate Michael Penix Jr. and Pac-12 contender Washington got off to a massive start wth a dominating win over Boise State.
The Ducks scored 81 points, albeit against Portland State. This team has firepower.
The Buffs stunned TCU in Week 1, and Deion Sanders began the new era in Boulder with a massive statement. In Week 2? Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Clemson transfer DJ Uigalelei could be the Beavers’ missing piece, and a lopsided win over San Jose State on Sunday was a big step in the right direction.
Chup Kelly named Ethan Garbers the starter, then sent out Dante Moore later, and the Bruins defeated Coastal Carolina.
Jaden Rashada, Kenny Dillingham, a new stadium name, and a weather delay all in one game? Well, the Sun Devils survived and beat Southern Utah.
The Stanford Cardinal looked exciting on offense under new head coach troy Taylor, although they did it against lowly Hawaii. Still, it’s a win.
The Cougars started with a win, and it was a 50-24 victory in Fort Collins over Colorado State. The Cougars are one of the biggest wild cards in the Pac-12 this year (and going forward, for that matter).
Arizona against Northern Arizona is always lopsided, and Jedd Fisch and his team got a 38-3 victory.
Cal is officially going to the ACC with Stanford, and the Golden Bears defeated North Texas by a score of 58-21 on the road.
